Chapter 1: Arena Encounter
"This is as far as I can take you." Said a man as a traveling chariot traveled along the stone road. A hill was looming in the distance.
"Thank you, it is just fine." Said another voice as he stepped down from the chariot. The chariot then galloped off in the distance, and the owner of that voice walked towards the hill to get a better view.
"I wonder what I can see from the top of this hill!" Troy said to himself.
Troy finally reached the top of the hill, and he glanced around. It was a brightly sunny day. The air was cool and fresh, and there were more hills and butterflies everywhere. But in the middle, was what looked like to be some kind of stadium. It had blue and red arches, and even from such a far distance, Troy could still hear the entire racket going on.
"What is going on?" he said again to himself.
He started investigating. So he ran towards the arena, and the racket started getting louder and louder each time he got closer.
A Prince's lance clanging across some armor. Arrows being fired, a Knight's sword smashing against some wood. And all of a sudden, what looked like to be a rocket was fired out into the sky, and then headed straight down, with a massive explosion.
"Another battle?" Troy was deep in thought.
Troy decided to head over to the blue area, and as he walked through the arena doors, he could see quite a lot! There were towers shooting arrows at lots of people, and troops battling other troops! There were two kinds of colors to symbol one another's troop: Blue and Red, very simple!
"What is this?" Troy questioned.
Troy decided to head up on the King Tower. He saw a King dressed up blue clothing and a blue and yellow crown on his head.
"Uh… are you the King?" Troy said.
The King turned around and showed a proud smile on his face.
"Of course I'm the King! Why else would I have this glorious crown?"
"Well anyways, nice to meet you." Troy stammered.
"Have we met before?" The King questioned.
"Not at all!" Troy said back. "I'm just…!"
He knew his identity couldn't be known too far.
"My name is Troy."
"Yes, then nice to meet you!" The King exclaimed.
All of a sudden, they heard a voice down from the tower.
"Hey King! Are you going to destroy that Bomb Tower directly across from the bridge?"
"Yes, I might as well do that!" The King shouted back.
The King then smiled towards Troy.
"Would you like to come watch?" The King proudly said.
"Sure." Troy nodded.
Troy walked to the front of the King Tower and immediately saw a fireball being launched from a cannon that was in front of him.
"Let me guess. That fireball will collide into that Bomb tower?" Troy asked.
"Of course!" The King replied back.
As the fireball exploded on impact against the Bomb Tower, it all shattered into pieces of wood.
"GRR!" The other King said. The other king was just another King from the opposite side of the stadium, and he was dressed in red clothing.
"You're welcome!" The blue clothing King shouted back.
Troy merely chuckled. Then he remembered the Medallion.
"Hey… this is a Blue King against a Red King! Defeating the Red King will at least push back his trophy horde!" he said to himself.
"You're what powers to help?" The King inquired.
"Oh… nothing in particular. It's just the fact that I may perhaps be able to aid you out in battle." Troy replied.
"I have no idea what you mean." The King said.
"Well, it would be a pleasure if I could help you out with the powers of my… of my fighting spirit!" Troy said, and then coughed a bit. He really was starting to push it.
"Hmm, would you please explain that a little more?" The King said, and pointed his index finger to the ground. All of a sudden, what looked like to be a man on a pony appeared.
The man wielded his fearsome lance, and his pony charged across the battlefield, knocking a knight down. The knight shouted in pain and exploded into elixir. His sword dropped, and that was the only thing left.
"Okay, this Fighting Spirit is inside of me. I'm sure everyone has it. But mine is so powerful, that I gain access to supernatural powers."
"All right then! Let's see what you got!" The King said.
Troy nodded and jumped down. There were three troops down on the blue territory that wore blue clothing or their weapons looked blue. There was a woman holding a musket, a skeleton wearing goggles, a helmet, and had a bomb, and a cute looking dragon flying across, setting some nearby skeletons on fire.
"Here we go!" He shouted.
He had his right hand form a fist, and then after that into a claw shape. A light sphere burning vapors appeared, ranging in a spectrum of many colors.
"Whoa! That's some power!" The blue clothing king exclaimed.
Troy's sphere got to about half of his head's diameter, and within seconds, he hurled it towards some enemy troops, specifically, Barbarians.
"That's astonishing!" The red clothing king said angrily. I need one of my cards to have that!
Just then all of a sudden, the crowd shouted lots of loud words to both kings.
"It's double elixir generation time!" Both kings shouted.
They started placing down troops left and right, really fast. There were Giant Skeletons, musketeers, balloons, and even a whole army of skeletons!
Troy took a deep breath and then clenched his hands into a fist.
He threw a couple more fiery spheres that burned rainbow gases at the Red King's troops, and meanwhile, there was a blue clothed prince sharpening his lance and was sitting on his pony besides the King Tower.
"This adventurer has great power father!" The prince shouted.
"Yes, indeed, Perry!" The King exclaimed back.
The King focused back to the battle. It was pretty clear he was going to win. He already destroyed one crown tower, and the other king didn't.
"Victory!" The blue clothing king shouted.
All of his troops shouted, and Perry snatched two trophies away from the red king.
"Don't worry; these trophies are for my father!" Perry exclaimed nobly.
"Bah! I want a rematch!" The red clothing king shouted with rage.
"Very well then. Tomorrow morning!" Perry said.
"Deal!" the red clothing king said.
Perry gripped on the trophies on the trophies, and then rode back to the blue clothing king.
"Alright! Three trophies!" Troy exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, thanks to your help!" The king shouted back.
"Thanks!" Troy replied.
After everyone left the arena, the King grasped hold of one trophy. Perry had another trophy, and Troy grabbed on the third trophy.
But Troy then knew that he ran into his first problem. A shelter to stay in for a few days preferably, and maybe gain extra information.
"Here's my problem King. I don't have any shelter to go to for the night. Any ideas?"
"Hmm… You know, you may be something here!" Perry said.
"Now that's a wonderful idea!" The king said.
"Thank you!" Troy said.
Troy, the King, and the prince then headed towards their home. It was a colorful castle, which had blue and red arches.
"Ready to go in?" The king said.
"Yep!" Troy exclaimed.
